Chapter 1806: Chapter 1804: Meeting Gift (Part 1)
Sima Xiaowen smiled slightly, "Whatâs wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are you glaring at me?"
"Iâve noticed youâre getting more annoying."
"I wasnât expecting you to like me anyway, especially since we havenât known each other for long."
At this moment, Sima Xiaowen seemed a bit like a little rascal, but there was a smile in her voice.
"Luckily, we havenât known each other for long. If we did, we might have turned into enemies by now," Yun Luoâs voice also carried a hint of amusement.
And Gu Qiaoqiao, looking at Sima Xiaowen and then at Yun Luo, didnât expect these two to interact like this.
It was quite eye-opening, but even so, Gu Qiaoqiao wasnât worried.
Being straightforward is much better than scheming behind peopleâs backs.
Speaking of which, she thought of Liu Ling again.
But there was no evidence yet, so Gu Qiaoqiao swallowed her words back, looking amusedly at the two, "Why do I feel like you two are like frenemies? Is this how you always talk to each other?"
"Thereâs nothing bad about it; itâs not tiring at all,"
Said Yun Luo. The spacious living room had only three girls, and the atmosphere was casual and free, so Yun Luo stretched lazily, found a comfortable position, and nestled on the sofa, saying lazily, "Since I woke up, Iâve always felt tired. But coming to the Imperial Capital, and staying at Gu Garden these days, Iâve felt much more relaxed."
"So, are you saying you donât like it here?" Sima Xiaowen asked, somewhat pointedly.
"I wouldnât say I like it or dislike it. Youâre right, Iâll leave sooner or later. But donât worry, I wonât mess with Chang Qing; that bookworm wouldnât even understand if I wanted to mess with him."
Just then, Gu Qianqian came down holding Xiao Bei, while Xiao Bao was lying proudly on White Wolfâs soft back, coming down from upstairs.
The two little kids were babbling indistinctly.
They were round and adorable, making peopleâs hearts melt at first glance.
White Wolf skillfully lay down on the floor, giving a shake, which made Xiao Bao tumble down. Xiao Bao happily crawled around on the carpet, feeling the warm-up was enough, then sat quietly on the carpet, his black eyes curiously watching the people in the room.
Xiao Bei seemed even more joyful.
She crawled quickly, spinning a dozen circles in no time, making Gu Qiaoqiao feel dizzy.
Gu Qiaoqiao noticed her daughter was vigorous and lively, whereas her son seemed much calmer.
Looking at the two cute and beautiful little kids, Yun Luo clapped her hands, exclaiming, "Oh my, I almost forgot the meeting gifts for the kids!"
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly waved her hand, "No need to be so formal. Weâre not outsiders; why bother with meeting gifts?"
However, Sima Xiaowen disagreed, looking at Yun Luo with a playful smile, "Precisely because weâre not outsiders, thatâs why meeting gifts are necessary."
This time Yun Luo didnât argue with Sima Xiaowen but nodded in agreement, "Exactly, thatâs the point. If it were others, I wouldnât give anything." Then she looked at Sima Xiaowen, complaining, "You know I donât understand much about these things; couldnât you remind me?"
Sima Xiaowen looked at her amused, "Missy, how do I remind you of such things? But, you came empty-handed; what will you use as the meeting gift?"
Sima Xiaowen was also curious.
Gu Qiaoqiao didnât know what to say.
In such a situation, sometimes itâs truly difficult to handle.
If she were to argue with someone, sheâd definitely leave the other party speechless. But sometimes, when it came to saying something nice or making small talk, she just couldnât do it. But considering from the Gu Family Ancestorâs perspective, Yun Luo wasnât an outsider. So, there was no need for pleasantries.
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs heart settled down.
Then she saw Yun Luoâs previously quiet eyes light up, and almost in the blink of an eye, two dazzling objects appeared in her palm.
It seemed this Yun Luo was the same as the familyâs ancestor.
They both had a storage space to keep their belongings.
So they didnât need to carry bags around, since their things were stored in the storage space.
But such things were not possible for people like Gu Qiaoqiao for the time being.
These two dazzling items, once taken out, immediately caught Xiao Bao and Xiao Beiâs attention.
Xiao Bei, who was crawling around, also stopped, watching the rainbow-like beautiful objects along with her brother sitting on the carpet.
Before giving the items to the children, Yun Luo was sure to tell their mother what they were for.
Yun Luo said cheerfully, "Qiaoqiao, your two little ones are really lucky; I thought I had already lost these two things."
Sima Xiaowen asked, "They look quite nice. What are they?"
"These are called the Glazed Realm. Once worn, if the owner encounters danger, the protection mechanism will automatically activate. Iâm not exaggerating; itâs truly impervious to swords and guns, even bullets canât penetrate, and itâs lifelong protection."
Gu Qiaoqiaoâs eyes lit up; this was indeed something good.
But she was a bit worried, "Yun Luo, these things are too pretty. How can the kids wear them? If they do, and others see it, it will surely attract attention."
Yun Luo said with some pride, "How could I let the kids wear them in such a way? That wouldnât be protection; that would bring trouble to the kids..."
As she spoke, Yun Luoâs hands moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, those dazzlingly beautiful items became two silver bracelets, each with a pretty bell on it.
Yun Luo stood up from the sofa, fiddled with the bracelets, and at this moment, Sima Xiaowen and Gu Qiaoqiao also gathered around. Yun Luo first put one on Xiao Bao, then on Xiao Bei, explaining as she went along, "These two silver bracelets will automatically adjust in size as the children grow."
After putting them on, she looked them over and said cheerfully, "See, now thereâs no problem, right?"
Then she boastfully added, "Come, let me show you."
Before Gu Qiaoqiao could stop her, Yun Luo suddenly produced a Sword of Light, like the one from earlier, then stepped back and swiftly thrust it towards Xiao Bao.
Even though she knew Yun Luo meant no harm and was just conducting an experiment, Gu Qiaoqiao was really startled. Whose kids arenât their joy? Even knowing there was no danger, she couldnât help being extremely worried.
Thatâs exactly how Gu Qiaoqiao felt at the moment.
Almost instinctively, she drew talismans in the air, and suddenly swords of ice appeared around Xiao Bao.
All sword tips pointed at Yun Luo.
Yun Luo felt speechless, and Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit embarrassed, while Sima Xiaowen was chuckling.
